TMNT 2012 – TMNT Classics Pics!

Just wanted to do a quick round up post. With all the awesome Turtles product coming out starting in 2012, we wanted to clarify what the Classics figures are by putting them all in one spot. When looking at a sea of green, it’s hard to tell it all apart in pictures.

Attached are the shots from Sunday in person at Playmates, along with some official images from earlier in the week.

These figures stand about 6 inches tall, and are in scale with MOTUC, DCUC or Legends. They have more bulk, but height wise, about the same. Much larger than standard size 2012 TMNT figures, which are closer to G.I. Joe or Marvel Universe height figs (again, these have more bulk in that size too).

Anyway, this was the most pleasant surprise of the show IMO, the whole new line that is, so enjoy the pics!

Anybody else think we may be seeing the smash hit of the year here?? Its got everything roleplay weapons,great classic figures for collectors,awesome 3.75inch line for kids(and collectors!!) An AMAZING playset,and brilliant vehicles too!! Manoman i hope the animated series does well!!! Id love to see this line run and run!!!

I do. I'm not picky to begin with, but I'm looking at these images and I honestly can't find a negative other than they won't be free.

THIS is the star of toyfair for me!
And are those Metalhead and Leatherhead?!? OMG, YES!!!!
And is that dog creature Razar??

This line is soooo much better than the last TMNT series! Looks like we're back to the over-the-top silly mutants, instead of all the superheroes, oriental mystics, and virtualform stuff from the last line.

I know right?? I cant believe how stoked i am for these,when they first announced the 3.75inch line i looked over em and decided i was definitely gonna get Don (LOVE that moody headsculpt) and possibly Raph,then i saw that immense playset,and i mean how can ANYONE who collects MU/SW/Joe/any 3.75inch line NOT want that???(and even better the G/F has said i can get it!!!) Then i saw the van which is just ridiculous and gets better and better with every viewing,and that turtle trike with the cockpit shell armor is absolute genius!! And now they are showing us Kraang,and Foot soldiers on bikes and mutants,and robot turtles...MAN IM EXCITED!!! As RR said i want these on shelves now!!! I dont wanna wait any longer!!!!

Looking at the classics again and it doesn't really look like they're holding their weapons well, which is kind of concerning me. I mean it looks like Donatello's bo is held on by glue or some epoxy.

Stuff like that is common practice for dioramas and displays. Or at least, I believe it is. I wouldn't allow it to bother me, if I were you.
Though their ability to hold them concerned me from the get go, with individually articulated fingers.

yeah ball jointed almost everything and double hinged knees i think. no ankles but i can live with that. scale judging from the demo guy's hands, i'd say 4-5" scale maybe for the main line.

The classic figures look like the have ankle swivels and pivots! it's the animated show line that doesn't look like any, but who knows till we see them in person, I'm very impressed with the quality of these, even the roleplaying items look well done, not overly gimmicy or cheesey, appealing to the die-hard-collectors and the new age of fans alike.
